Areas affected...Eastern FL Panhandle into Northern FL and Far
Southeast GA

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 111054Z - 111300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated damaging gust and perhaps even a brief tornado
are possible from the eastern Florida Panhandle into Northern
Florida and Far Southeast Georgia over the next few hours.

DISCUSSION...Recent radar imagery shows a broken convective line
extending from south-central GA southwestward through the far
eastern FL Panhandle into the northwest Gulf of Mexico. A few
stronger updrafts have been noted within the line, particularly with
the cell now over Taylor County. Recent mesoanalysis and forecast
soundings suggest that low-level stability remains in place for now,
which will likely limit the overall severe potential in the near
term. Even so, strong winds are in place (i.e. 50 kt was sampled at
1 km AGL at KVAX), and a few downdrafts may able to penetrate the
low-level stable layer.

Additional low-level moisture advection is anticipated ahead of the
line, contributing to airmass destabilization and a greater
potential for surface-based storms, particularly over western
portions of northern FL (in the vicinity of CTY). Isolated damaging
gust and perhaps even a brief tornado are possible over the next few
hours.
